Act 372 The Empire Rain VII(1/2)
Jita turned around, and a pair of ruby-like eyes in the darkness were staring at her, gleaming a slight luster between the shadows. It was the head of a giant snake, whose surface seemed to be transformed from marble, cold and hard, and the greystone-like scales bit each other one by one, smooth and beautiful.
The scholar looked at the scene quietly with his head raised, without feeling afraid. The snake was the most beautiful and mysterious thing in the magic story, and she had already seen that the giant snake was just a huge stone statue.
The giant snake slowly opened its mouth, revealing the sharp stone teeth below it, and in its throat was a corridor more than one person high. Jita looked at the black stairs, but it was definitely not a secret passage, or the stone statue should not appear in this place at this moment.
She looked back and seemed to be no longer in the small room before. The constraints of the surrounding space disappeared. The stone wall seemed to retreat, and the ceiling disappeared, leaving only the statue of the girl in the center and the giant snake behind her.
At this moment, she was in an endless darkness. As the previous spells sensed, the giant snake's gray body was winding and wandering in the darkness, with almost no end.
Jita looked back at the scriptures on the girl's stone-carved arm:
Is that a activate mantra? But it doesn't look like that, she didn't feel any change from that passage.
The wizard is most sensitive to the changes in the ether, but the silence of the ether in the small chamber was like a dead layer of dust spreading on the ground, and it was just a piece of ordinary text.
It's like a prayer on the pedestal of the icon.
It is generally believed that the sacred chanting and chanting will attract a glimpse of the saints, or at least an angel parade; but the sacred atmosphere in the Great Hall is somewhat reinforced, and those are just the most ordinary, magic-
It is impossible for the Olin Saints to take a glimpse because they are not so passionate about mortal affairs.
This is the theory among the magicians. Jita is a naturalist and naturally agrees with this view that there are indeed the most saints in Aitalia, but Gods only do not necessarily pay attention to mortals, and they occasionally cast their sight.
She happened to see everything with her own eyes. Not only was Fang Yuya chosen by Ms. Aimeya, Ms. Marlan also cast a glimpse on him. After witnessing that scene, she naturally would not be interested in rumors in the general sense.
But how did this giant snake come here?
She was a little cautious.
Perhaps as long as someone step into this small room, it will cause all this? Is this the giant snake mentioned in the previous words of those people? It belongs to the Karlaye family, but how did the magician of the Snake of the Mind bring it here?
The previous movement was made by it? But this was obviously just a stone statue.
Although this is a magician's gathering place, and it is nothing great for the stone statue to move, she did not feel any magical flowing breath from the giant snake. In other words, it is not a stone golem or a magical creature.
Jita thought about it and suddenly spoke to the giant snake:
"Why am I here?"
However, when the girl opened her mouth, what she made was just a series of notes of unknown significance, mixed with countless noises, like a low resonance, buzzing in the darkness.
That's a secret text.
Reborn from the original pronunciation of the dragon and the language mixed with the fairy text, the Noumi Elf compiled some of the ancient texts and taught them to mortals, which is similar to the art texts of alchemists.
After a moment, a voice responded from the head of the giant snake: "Ancient noble, come forward."
A faint light flashed in Jita's eyes.
For a caster engaged in occultism, if you don’t understand, the easiest way is to ask questions. Most mysterious things are asked questions and answers. After all, there must be a reason for this giant snake to appear here.
In Aitalia, most people believe in the ancient powers of language, whether they are male, witch or witch.
That is the basis for magical creatures to organize and regulate spells - although the magic wand is another foundation. In the era without magic wands, elves, snakes, and dragons also cast spells in such an ancient and mysterious way.
Although she is just a caller, she also understands that the magic world has its own rules.
After all, the people who constructed this world constructed everything in the way they saw and heard, and most of the things she saw after this star gate were like this, and Aitalia itself was not created by the caller.
After getting this answer, Jita realized that she should have triggered a certain condition.
Because the magicians will not call every uninvited guest a "visitor", let alone "noble". According to the personalities of most of them, it is common to have many spell restrictions on their own secret portals.
A bolt of lightning, a ball of fire, or a spell summoned by a spell will be those things that make ordinary people retreat, so they will not be so polite to others.
So is this the mechanism left by Karlayer's psychic warlock?
So how did you trigger it?
She looked back at the statue of the girl again, and this time she suddenly felt something. The magic book appeared in her hand, gently stretched out her hand, and covered it on the metal title page of the Book of Gulier - as a naturalist, what she trusted the most was of course her magic book.
At the point where the fingertips and the pages were connected, a strange feeling suddenly appeared, like a faint wind rolling up, and the airflow held her fingertips. The naturalist lady naturally would not feel that it was the flow of ether.
She suddenly raised her head and looked at the giant snake - was it her magic book that triggered this mechanism?
Jita looked at the entrance of the black hole in the corridor, and the giant snake's stone statue was repeating the sentence, and the sound was buzzing in the dark space:
"Ancient nobles come forward."
Is this an invitation?
The ancient nobles are talking about the holders of the Magic Book.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Or is it her?
But once she figured out why she came to this space, she calmed down and thought about it to continue walking forward, passing through the giant snake's stone teeth, and entering the secret passage behind. Most of the casters were cautious, but all had sufficient curiosity and strong confidence in their own magic.
Since she has arrived at this place, it is impossible for her to stop and not move forward. Even if she really encounters any trouble, at least she still has a way out.
Before entering the corridor, Ji Ta looked at the two crystals floating not far away from him - one was a communication crystal, which had dimmed. From entering the tomb cellar, the crystal lost its function under the mystery lock barrier set by the magicians. The other was a sensing crystal, which was the starry light in the sensing area.
The crystal also emits a faint light, which means that this place is not a dead silent area.
Although the communication crystal has lost its effect, she can also inform others of information through the forum. Although the communication between the two worlds is more expensive, it is extremely reliable at critical moments. The only time there was a problem was the last time the Star Gate was moving, but that situation was rare after all.
When she passed between the two fangs, she originally thought that there would be a narrow, winding downward space behind the corridor. From the steps one by one, you could see that it was a long journey from the length of the giant snake. But unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped into the corridor, her body felt a sense of weightlessness, as if she had stepped on a space under her feet and fell down.
The scholar was startled at first, but soon calmed down and realized that she had stepped into a portal. She held her glasses frame with her hand, looked back and realized that she had seen a strange scene.
What she saw was not the exit of the corridor - this was expected, but the scholar did not see a portal that was being closed - but turned his head and saw the scene behind her.
This statement may sound absurd, but she felt like she had become a snake, a huge snake, and the giant snake was holding up under her control, turning her head, and seeing everything in her vision through her ruby-like pupils.
There was blood in the field of vision.
Under the blood-red eyes of "it", there is a hall at the entrance. The hall located on the underground is half naturally formed and half due to artificial carving. The hall is very tall, and giant natural stalactite columns hang down from the top of the cave to form beams and columns supporting the vault of the hall.
And ‘it’ was wrapped around the huge stalactite pillars, and raised his head to look at the tiny people like ants in the hall - yes, there were other people in the hall. Jita recognized those people as magicians of the Karlaye family at a glance.
The psychic warlocks were wearing blue robes, with an open vertical pupil embroidered on the robe, which was the pattern emblem of the Karlaye family's artifact - the Eye of the Viper Snake. Of course, this artifact is just a statement from the outside world. It is actually just a secondary holy object.
According to the classification of the Saint Selected System, it belongs to the relatively ancient category of legendary wonders.
In fact, Jita's eyes immediately attracted the strange object suspended in the air. Its appearance looks like a golden ball. The side facing away from "it" should be the image of the eyes. There are three rings outside. The first one is the track of the stars and moons, the second one is the sundial plate, and the third one has a carving like a rising flame on the modification.
That is the real Eye of the Viper Snake.
The atmosphere in the hall was a bit solemn.
However, Jita soon realized that it was the reason for all this. The group of people before the psychic warlocks was very complicated, with tall, short, fat and thin inside, mixed with various robes, including men, women, even aliens, and some even wore in the intern robes of college students.
Those people were looking in their direction without exception, with a little curiousness in their eyes and a hint of fear. Many people were watching the 'it' whispering and whispering, and Cui Xisi was one of them:
"It raised its head, could it want to attack?"
"Is the warlock of the Karlaye family able to control this thing? I heard that this is a mythical creature. If it riots, no one can stop us. Luther, you won't want to waste the starlight in such a place, right?"
The boy next to him shook his head, "Pandoras won't get out of control because of this little thing. When the people of the Karleye family and the people of the S.O.L.I.D alliance discovered the magic book, it would have been guarding the ruins. If they had not received the approval of this guardian, they would not have taken the magic book away."
"Since then, the magic book has been kept alternately by your Alliance and the Karleye family. Three masters have been selected in thirty years of history. Except for the first director who was the magician of the Karleye family, the subsequent masters are all summoners."
Luther replied: "Every time he chose the owner of the Magic Book, he received Pandoras' permission, the owner of the Magic Book, or the owner of the giant snake. However, since the last owner of the Magic Book retired five years ago, the giant snake has entered hibernation and has only woken up today."
He looked up at the giant snake with his head raised and his letter, "But the psychics of the Karlaye family said that it would wake up today, and it is true that it proves that after the magic book was vacant for five years, a new naturalist was finally born."
"What does this have to do with us," said Choi Xisi, a little rogue, "Why do you invite alchemists to come here for the Magisters? The Magister Book will not choose us as its masters, which is of no benefit to us."
Luther looked at her with a wry smile, "You are also from the S.O.L.I.D Alliance. Don't you participate in the guild activities? As for me, wasn't I invited by you?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "If you don't come, I'm really bored, and there is no one around you who can speak," Cui Xisi shook her head: "Look at those people, you must have just come to this world not long ago, with a newbie. The Alliance doesn't look like a shortage of people. Will the Magic Book like those people?"
"The Master of Magic Book only looks at talent, not strength," Luther replied. "Usually, a group of people will be selected from talented newcomers. Magic Book will select a few real candidates from them and then compete for the top spot. But this time, this Magic Book has not chosen a master for too long. The Karleye family may be a little anxious, so the league will send all suitable candidates here."
He stopped, "The Magic Book is also a symbol of the status of the Seven Magic Family. The Seven Magic Books lost three of them in the war, and later the Summoner found three more magic books, so all the families who lost the Summoner Book chose to cooperate with the Summoner Guild. In this case, the Karleye family's naturalist position was vacant for five years, which was extremely unfavorable for these psychic warlocks."
"Can't they choose people from their families to inherit this magic book? Such a huge family of spiritual warlocks does not even have a genius?"
"That's not the case, but the giant snake has not woken up, which means that the Magic Book has not yet selected its favorite master," Luther said. "Before this, the Karleyes family and the S.O.L.I.D alliance held several selections, and none of the selected people were favored by Pandoras."
"It's quite picky," Cui Xisi was suddenly stunned and poked Luther on the side with her elbow, "Is that giant snake always looking at us?"
Luther was stunned. He subconsciously thought that it was the girl who had the illusion of taking it for granted, but when he looked up, he happened to meet the faint gaze of the giant snake, and he couldn't help swallowing the words behind him.
Cui Xisi, who was standing beside her, was still chattering, "Did it notice that we were whispering together? It shouldn't be that the others were whispering, and it was not just us."
Luther opened his mouth, but he didn't know that the answer was OK.
However, Jita did "see" the two of them from the crowd. She actually recognized the people on the outside at first sight as the callers, and only the callers would buzz and talk endlessly on such occasions.
The imperial class is very strict, and ordinary college students dare not be so virtuous in front of the superior magicians. Even Brita and the others seemed somewhat restrained in front of Luo Yu, not to mention whispering to each other without any hesitation.
What's more, she saw a few familiar faces from the crowd, Cui Xisi and Luther were one of them, and there were several others. She vaguely remembered that she had met one or two times in the people of the Death Arrival Guild.
She has a good memory, but she only met these people at Aiyin Bullock that day, so she was not sure whether she had admitted her mistake.
However, seeing this scene, the scholar roughly understood what this place was - and what these people were doing.
This should be the Hall of Vipers in Karleye. The psychic warlocks came to participate in this gathering. One of the important purposes is to select a new owner for the Book of Snake Kiss, so that the naturalists of the Karleye family can have successors.
She had heard about this before she went to the Empire. After all, the fact that a magic book was vacant for five years was very popular in the Empire. The magicians of the Karleye family were anxious to find a new owner for the Magic Book. Even civilians in the Empire heard about it.
It is said that many people have come from other places to see if they can try their luck. After all, as long as they have a little understanding of the magician world, they can clearly understand it. The magician book only depends on talent, not strength, and they can't say that they will become a class of people.
This is particularly tempting for those indigenous people.
